Drop D Capo 1 (or tune down 1/2 step and play in Drop D)
D G
A heart on the run keeps a hand on a gun
D
It can't trust anyone
D G
I was so sure what I needed was more
D
Tried to shoot out the sun
D/C# Bm G
In days when we raged, we flew off the page
D
Such damage was done
D G
But I made it through cause somebody knew
D
I was meant for someone
Chorus 1:
D G D
So girl leave your boots by the bed, we ain't leavin this room
G D
Till someone needs medical help or the magnolias bloom
Em G Bm
It's cold in this house and I ain't goin out to chop wood
D G D
So cover me up and know you're enough to use me for good
Put your faith to the test when I tore off your dress
In Richmond on high
I sobered up, I swore off that stuff
Forever this time
In the old lover's scene, I thought it'd be me
Who helped him get home
Home was a dream, one i'd never seen
Till you came along
Chorus 2:
So girl hang your dress up to dry we ain't leavin this room
Till Percy priest?? breaks open wide and the river runs through
Carries this house on the stones like a piece of drift wood
So cover me up and know you're enough to use me for good
Solo
Chorus 1
Cover me up and know your enough to use me for good
